We rescued both from bad homes. They are 2 and 1 1/2 respectively. I love that they are so close in age. It makes their energy levels match for the most part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-925515 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 04:28:37 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 925515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One was 3 months, one was 10 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-925510 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 04:05:26 +0000 Sweet T 925510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure he was 4 when we adopted him which would make him 7 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-925481 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 01:55:45 +0000 lemondrop 925481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months old, my clinic neutered him for a local rescue and I fell in love &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-925273 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:57:31 +0000 jhd 925273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months. i adopted him from a shelter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924375 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:11:33 +0000 sslm 924375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks I think!

He was a rescue. Now he's 4 1/2! Can't believe how fast time goes.</p> <p>He was bought from a breeder as a baby and traded owners 3 times before us. Idk why because he's the most amazing, best behaved dog ever. So luckily his papers came with him. We know his actual birthday...February 21st which is also my due date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924318 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:00:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 924318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The rescue group and the vet said he was about a year old, so we count the day we got him as his 1 year birthday. He's 10 and a half now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924307 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:57:17 +0000 mrs. 64 924307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks. She was already a hot mess of anxiety so I'm glad we got her before it got any worse.</p> <p>ETA: I made up a birthday for her cause I'm cool like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924197 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:33:19 +0000 autumnlove 924197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was around 1.5 when DH got him.

The foster group I adopted her from said the people who surrendered her said she was 4. My vet said she was probably 6 or 7. So if you go by the foster group, she'd be 9 now. If you go by the vet, she's 11 or 12. She's going deaf and losing all her teeth so I personally think she's at least 11. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924107 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:14:23 +0000 MrsH 924107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 weeks and five now and 16 weeks and three and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924077 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:08:57 +0000 Torchwood 924077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One at I think 8 weeks, one at 12. The one who was older was returned because she had a hernia. Given that they paid for the first vet visit and any conditions found, and it was a minor problem, I don't get why they returned her. But we couldn't be happier that they did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-924067 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:07:34 +0000 regberadaisy 924067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We adopted her when she was 10 weeks old!

I would love to adopt a dog but it was so nice raising ours from a puppy too. We have a yorkie and as a baby he was THE. CUTEST. THING. EVER!... He still is cute though :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-dog-when-you-first-got-them#post-915975 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:00:00 +0000 heffalump 915975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And how old are they now? We just got our pup and have no clue of her age. She was taken to the shelter because she was a stray, and they said she was 2. The rescue got her from that shelter and they say she's 1. We're going with 1 1/2. </p>
